OR you'll end up like me...:blink: ...not "in the crowd", but sitting alone making dead threads. Seriously, its happened to me thrice.:ermm:

:frusty:

Well I have to say this is my first thread (also first dip in the pool sort of speak) and its nice so far. Thanks for the encouragement.

Hope posting on a thread as a reply is ok. I edited my first post to say thanks.

TTK

To prevent scammers and spammers maybe?

It doesn't work :dabs:

Oh yes it does.

Its not that bad, I think the rule is quite fine with me. A bit to long though.

I am a patient sort of person and have no problem waiting 30 days to be vetted by the community, they seem like nice people (most of them.)
However I don't tolerate bumholes that like to think they're 'l337' or whatever just because they spend their lives on a paticular forum rather than engaging in regular human society.
Not directed at any particular mods on FST but I have encountered them elsewhere on the web.
And you'd better believe I'm coming for my demonoid invite at the end of the month - (if I remember) I always seem to miss the public registrations by a matter of hours - oh well.

I really don't see the point in having to wait 30 days before a newbie can post in the torrent invites section???

ok.cool

I'm sorry, I don't understand your question.

I agree- it's not that bad on this forum, but I have been on some forums where post count matters more than what you actually know- bill gates could sign up and be answering questions about problems on windows and get told off becuase he only has ten posts, so what does he know. it's no small suprise that I don't hang around those forums anymore, despite the fact that I had built up a post count large enough to be knowledgeable on what I was talking about. I just got tired of some senior member telling off some newbie because the newbie knew more than the senior member.

Thanks for the info...

Hi.This is only my second post.I 2 dont c d need 4 one month waiting

I think the elapsed time is probably better than the post count (especially if it is only set at 5), though there is little that can be done to stop those who wish to leech from doing so.

Enforcing restrictions helps a little bit but those who they are aimed at will always tend to do the bare minimum required.

ok i understand

well go then :dry:

I don c d need 4 ritin lik dis.


I think the one month and five posts you have to go through is one of the good ideas the team have had.

It's an excellent idea to protect the people who are already here from nuisances, like people only using them for invites, in this case, and it should be done more often and extensively.

I'd not mind the new people having to go through even more, before accessing stuff that could get us or the trackers in trouble.

trying to do the right thing, tough on this site....will get there, thanks

I'm interested in the site, and will hopefully have the time to spend here and get to know people. From past experiences I have found forums to be very difficult to get into since there is so much bashing, that a person has a hard time making any intelligent comments without the inevitable insult.

Here is to a new try.

Couldn't agree with you more, stupid elitists.

I say reckon you need to be stricter. Say 1 year and 500 posts if you truly believe that this limit is there to judge a member's suitableness. At the moment, trying to gauge someone on 5 (!) posts is just stupid.

Anyhow, I have a brazillion posts and have been here 12 years and still haven't got any invites...

30 posts over the course of a month, on at least 5 different calendar days, and in at least 5 different threads.

And still people would abuse it. :dabs:

Fair enough, suppose it cuts the frauds out.

its pretty lame having to wait 30 days to view a section making people wait 30 days does NOT make them more active in the forum but rather join and wait the time then post..........doesnt make any sense whoever was in charge of deciding this is a moron bottom line

your treating it like its a priviledge to trade your invites to someone else for there invites thats lame wether your here 30 minutes or 30 days it shouldnt matter

I'm betting that the time-limit eliminates some people just looking for a quick fix.

The five posts, well, that IS a joke. Some of my early posts read like fuxing war and peace, so they might have given people an inkling of what I was like...when I hadn't slept properly for weeks. But people who post a "1, 2, 3..." in the n00b-thread don't say anything at all. (I wonder if they'd do the the same up to 500, heh.)

Looking at the pinned topic in that section, RealitY does say, tho', that we should pick the people we give invites to carefully. I suppose the five posts are there just so we have something to look at at all.




Some people, with say...6269 posts-ish who've been members for three years are still untrustworthy n00bies, as most of their posts are composed of smileys.

Or lies, smileys or lies.

dude...you're the moron:yup:

read this and then we'll talk

http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/showthread.php?t=125696

this is a community...get it?? co mmu ni ty...do i have to spell it for u?? this is not a trading post for your invites

You should only invite people that you would have on your MSN list. :sage:

Yes, it's true that we practice caution when we invite strangers or trade invites. However, I have traded / given out a few invites and yet to be burned. Luck of the draw I suppose... :)

when i come here first, i never think i can get oink and others here for free.
as time goes by,we know each other,and finally you can get what you want.
(just do not want too more!!)

DON'T LIKE IT? FUCK OFF THEN YOU CLOWN!

You are on the shitlist now dude probably should go find another place to whine about how the world does you wrong because noone here seems to give a rats ass about what you think.

I think that waiting 30 days is well worth the wait. Just think of it as a trial period that you must go through before you get what you want. Small price to pay in my opinion.

Good they disabled his account.Peoploe need to learn patience :)

30 days is symbolic
it gives time to you and others to develop some trust
offcourse if you are active

it doesnot matter... 30 days are nothing if you are really looking forward to be on the site for long ... otherwise u aint any good to the site anyways p

perhaps something like that would be good as an addition to the invites section. like a power member invite section kind of thing. thats invisible to users who dont meet the requirements. and isnt advertised, so users dont mass post just to qualify. it would certainly be n00b free, and i'd share my invites more freely without being so cautious.
